Introduced Text

New Jersey A5209 mandates health insurers to disclose reasons for denying coverage of private duty nursing services.

New Jersey A5209 requires health insurers to provide a detailed reason for any denial of coverage for private duty nursing services. If a denial is based on the claim that the services are not medically necessary, the insurer must also explain why the covered person's physician's determination is invalid. Additionally, insurers must offer examples of approved prior authorization requests for private duty nursing, including the necessary documentation submitted for those approvals. This act aims to increase transparency and accountability in the health insurance coverage process.
